Confidence

Energy

Range 0 - 100. Determines how often the actor moves to a new location when executing a Sandbox Package.

Responsibility

Not used.

Mood

Defines the actor's default facial expression, where applicable.

Aggro Radius Behavior

Check to enable. When a Neutral/Enemy enters the Aggro radius, the actor stops whatever they were doing and goes into Warn behavior, until the target leaves the radius or the actor goes into combat against the target. If the target remains in the radius too long, the creature will initiate combat. If the target moves to within half the aggro radius, the creature initiates combat immediately.

  • Aggro Radius: Distance value. Almost exactly like the Guard Radius on a Guard Package -- the actor will warn and then attack any Neutral or Enemy that comes within the Aggro Radius.
Note: When a creature has a package stack; Aggro Radius Behavior should be disabled and assigned in a guard package. The package stack may not evaluate or re-evaluate properly and the creature may become stuck in a guard or combat package otherwise.

Autocalc Services

If this box is marked, the boxes are checked based on faction data. Otherwise, the individual boxes can be checked for the NPC. NPCs will buy anything, regardless of how these boxes are marked. However, they will only sell items that satisfy the conditions of these boxes. The Barter Gold is set by leveled item lists in the actor's inventory.
